Denmark

March 5, 2009 By Sage 3 Comments

I’m leaving Saturday on a business trip to Denmark. I’ll be gone for a week. This isn’t as exciting as it sounds. I’ve lost count of how many times my company has sent me over. I suppose I could count up my passport stamps, but I’m not sure I want to know.

I find these trips desolate (not to mention at odds with my personal values). The 6 hour time difference makes me feel completely disconnected, and I don’t like being a scary 45 minute propeller plane ride, a 2 hour layover, a 9 hour transatlantic flight, and 3 hours in a car away from everything that matters to me in life.

Everytime I leave on one of these trips, I worry that I won’t make it back. I know that’s a little irrational, but I really just want to come home, pay off the mortgage, and live a long and interesting life with my husband. If you’re inclined, please pray or think positive thoughts for me in my travels. Thanks :)

    Sage,

    Just wanted to say that I’m really enjoying your blog.

    I will definitely keep you in my thoughts as you travel afar. I hope you have a safe trip!

    I’ll be thinking of you, Sage. I find even pleasure travel immensely stressful (I also have an affinity for stability, control, & order, for reasons very similar to yours.) Frankly, your description of this trip sounds bloody awful to me! I am confident, however, that you’ll be home safe and sound in a week. Take care. :)

    Dear Sage,

    You have my prayers and very best thoughts for a happy, stress-free journey and a joyous and safe return home. In situations like these, it always helps me to keep in mind that energy goes to focus. Thus, perhaps keep your focus on hugging your husband when you arrive safely home from your trip (or, other things of that sort :).
    God Bless.

    Tracey

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
